The HAD Student Travel Award

To encourage graduate students to present papers at its meetings, the Historical Astronomy Division (HAD) of the American Astronomical Society will present up to one award for its main meeting in January of each year

The award will consist of $500, to be paid after the meeting at which the student presents a paper, either oral or display.

Any current graduate student is eligible. A student may not receive the award more than once.

The application deadline for the 2015 meeting is 1 September 2014. To apply, the student should send the abstract of the paper to the HAD Secretary-Treasurer. The student’s academic advisor should also send a message stating that the student is currently enrolled and will not complete the doctorate before the meeting.

The HAD Committee will make the decision and inform the recipient before the deadline to submit the abstract to the American Astronomical Society. The Committee reserves the right to make no award for any given meeting.
